Day 209 : 心的作品
很久没有如此这般受宠若惊的感觉了。虽然纯粹只是好友关系,也不是深交很久,但可见这友人的心质细腻,关怀意识浓郁。 今天这友人为我做的泰式沙拉有虾、蟹肉、嫩牛肉、石榴果仁、黃花南芥菜 (wild rocket leaves)、爽口杂生菜,还有特制的酸辣泰式浆料,口味十足! 不敢想象为准备这顿健康午餐所需要花的时间、金钱与心思。我感到无比感动,也格外不好意思,因为我这块木头人不懂得回敬此情意。...

View ArticleDay 213 : Nostalgic Chic with Hermes The Gift of Time Exhibition
Time. It is a gift, but also a curse. It all depends on whether we are in control and decide what we do with it, or we allow others use it up for us. Tonight, I used and was ‘used’. Both in a good way...

View ArticleDay 221 : 草原之星
看着这颗星形稻草超越绿丛,鳌居独秀,让我联想起了出于孟子的一句成语。。。 ‘出类拔萃’。原文乃 “出于其类,拔乎其萃”,指的是超出群类之上。 奥运 2012 将于这星期天结束,诞生了一颗颗闪亮的运动明星;走兽中出麒麟,飞鸟群显凤凰。然后看看自己,比平凡还要平凡,无珠无奇。想寻找突破又不知从何做起。懊恼啊! Tagged: 出类拔萃 Meaning

Really dread Mondays and not looking forward to work lately. Not a good sign. But it’s a necessary ‘evil’ that just have to be tolerated for the next 20, 30 years?. On a random note, why does the Peace...
View ArticleDay 227 : 家路の夕阳
今天的日落极度缤纷,云集稠密,昏色神韵十足。回家途中欣赏这夜曲的前奏,我感叹 ‘夕阳’ 应该另名 ‘惜阳’,因为可惜太阳就快要与灿烂的一天告别了。今晚又要与睡眠搏斗了。
